Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

"2 years ago Stinkey said "our people are our greatest asset""

Right - he was speaking of himself and his sycophants,

2 years ago Stinkey said "our people are our greatest asset"

"because you are an AS***LE and aren’t aware of the broken promises that the company made to their employees."

What are these promises you speak of? That seems so out of character with what leadership has been saying over the last few years but I suppose it's possible.

When it involves me moving my family, it is personal.

"It’s something much more sinister."

Like what? I look forward to hearing what the details of the nefarious plot are. Some people have some seriously fevered imaginations.

Also to the ID--T that wrote: Thx to everyone who is leaving and taking severance. Most of you should have been cut 20yrs ago. Most of you are the reason that this company sux! We’ll get rid of 50% of you, you won’t be missed, and Att’s service will be better because you left—-

I PREDICT THAT YOU WILL SUFFER (IF YOU GET TO REMAIN) BECAUSE YOU WONT HAVE ANY OF THOSE 20 YEAR + EMPLOYEES AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU!

Peace OUT YOU FOOL!

To the person that started this thread “It's not personal, it's business”…..’I can only hope that Karma smacks you in the FACE and sends you a layoff NOTICE…..because you are an AS***LE and aren’t aware of the broken promises that the company made to their employees.

If it was just a matter of BUSINESS, then the leadership that has ARROGANTLY WASTED BILLIONS of dollars of the company money, who drove a once successful company into the ground should be the ones who suffer….

Closing over 300 of the 350 offices is an absolute JOKE……

The majority of the 15,000 managers cut have less than 20 years service. That means little to no benefits for the years employed at the phone company. It’s good to have over 20 years and meet the rule of 75 so you qualify as a retiree and are entitled to the retirement benefits that still exist. This is part of Stankey’s cost reduction plan in action directed to those without the required seniority.

Your delusional if you think this whole debacle is going to make service better...

How could it possible be any worse?

@xcx+1nnehMoi, Cool story, maga!

Nothing like inserting some nefarious conspiracy theory about "woke" and ESG as a way to feed your pathetic little fear of the world.

This is one rare occasion where I have to agree that laying off people like you is a very positive step for any business.

They need to make those ESG targets for their WEF leaders. It’s not even business anymore. It’s something much more sinister.

“ We are fed up and this last fiasco was simply the final straw for many.”

They don’t realize what they have started. Even the most loyal dog will bite if you kick it often enough, and we are way past often enough.

Sigh.

Everyone knows that business isn't personal, and for the most part I doubt that anyone griping about T is actually angry that sometimes in business bad things happen to people. That's just a fact of life.

However, there are ways to deal with bad news that the folks running the business are kind of expected to follow. For one thing, lying, misinforming, gaslighting, or intentionally withholding information isn't acceptable. Neither is the sort of duplicitous behavior that would lead a CEO to try and hide a mass layoff behind a cheap facade of offering employees a 'voluntary' choice of resigning or moving across the country for a chance of remaining employed a year later. Nor is using constant layoffs as a way to cover up for decades of top-level incompetence, bad decisions, blunders, and disastrous roll-outs. And, to top it off, it is absolutely not normal for the CEO to be so arrogant and egotistical as to continue to insist that the company's problems are due to the employees, while senior executives are blameless.

So the anger you are seeing here is a reflection of over 10 years of employees who dedicated their efforts and bought into the whole "AT&T Family" bullspit finally reaching their limit with the antics and continued humiliation at the hands of a vile, disgusting, unqualified, cowardly, arrogant, petulant, entitled, d'ouchebag CEO.

Yes, it's not personal, it's business. But this goes beyond business. We are fed up and this last fiasco was simply the final straw for many.

"Thx to everyone who is leaving and taking severance. Most of you should have been cut 20yrs ago..."

Your delusional if you think this whole debacle is going to make service better...

Most companies can clearly communicate the impact of their strategic decisions upon being announcement. They don't wait a month or so to send out a letter letting those impacted know they need another month to figure things out.

Horse pucky! That’s a cop-out for the cut-thr0@t sociopaths in the C suite!

"It's just business" is a term coined by an organized crime accountant in the 1930s. Nothing more than a moral escape clause, especially when used as a solution for poor business decisions.

Thx to everyone who is leaving and taking severance. Most of you should have been cut 20yrs ago. Most of you are the reason that this company sux! We’ll get rid of 50% of you, you won’t be missed, and Att’s service will be better because you left

The company should work around us workers. We make communication go.

Great reminder!
